Why Choose a Community Bank?

We care about the same things you do.

Community banks open with the mission to serve the residents and businesses in the places they call home. The money you keep in a community bank, stays in the community, with loans to neighborhood small businesses, sponsorships to area schools and sports teams and donations to local organizations.

Through the 2023 #PositivelyPEBO campaign, Peoples Bank associates have performed, and continue to drive, acts of kindness all year through school supply collections, volunteer efforts with food pantries, Habitat for Humanity and more. We are also proud to support area organizations with over $2 million from Peoples Bank and the Peoples Bank Foundation annually.

We specialize in relationship banking.

You’re not just an account number to us. Peoples Bank associates are attentive to our clients, knowing most of them on a first-name basis. And, we will never sell a product a client doesn’t need. Instead, we listen and learn about their financial journey, bringing educational resources to the table.

We make ourselves accessible, providing direct phone numbers for our branches and Customer Care Center. Our clients can contact an associate to solve a financial need over the phone or schedule a time to visit.

As a community Bank, we also have local decision making and a fast approval process for mortgages, vehicle loans and more. We are a preferred Small Business Administration lender, which leads to a faster funding of your loan, if approved.

We also support financial programs tailored to local professions. For example, Peoples Bank’s Hometown Heroes banking program honors active U.S. military service members, veterans, law enforcement, firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians, health care workers and teachers to provide special amenities to a traditional checking account.

Staying local, over 120 years and counting.

Our vision is to be the Best Community Bank in America, and we promise to continually seek ways to help our neighbors and businesses along their financial journeys. We live, work and play here and remain committed to our community. Working Together. Building Success.
